10 Foods You Should Never Eat on a First Date

Going out on a first date can be a landmine of stressers. You want to make a good first impression and every little detail counts. The last thing you want to worry about is how you are going to come across based on the meal you choose to order.

So, to help you make the right choices, here are 10 menu items you should never order on your first date.

1. Spaghetti. Or any other long dangly noodle that requires slurping in order to fit it all past your lips, it’s not appropriate. The list should include angel hair pasta, linguini, capellini, spaghettini, tagliatelle, & don’t forget Asian varietals such as glass, soba and lo mein noodles.

2. Fat sushi rolls. If you can’t figure out how to gracefully stuff it into your mouth in one bite, it’s not exactly a second date getter.

3. Double double burgers. If your jaw nearly comes unhinged taking a bit, it’ll contort your face in a way you don’t want, not pretty.

4. Foods that require substitutions. Any menu item you feel compelled to exclude, include or switch out more than one ingredient in the dish, it screams high-maintenance.

5. Super saucy sloppy joes. If it has the potential to dribble down your chin, pass.

6. Hot dogs – obviously, sends the wrong message.

7. Ribs. They’re finger-lickin’ good – no doubt. But, if you have to lick your fingers to get the most out of this meal, forget it. Digging the remains out from under your fingernails is also less than pretty.

8. Buffalo Wings. See above.

9. Finger Foods. Case and point; fried chicken. It makes for a very tasty meal, but as an observer of one who’s partaken in said chicken, the grease slipping down your digits does not make for a stellar first impression.

10. Garlic. Garlic chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, garlic bread, fried garlic, garlic beef…. you get the picture (You can insert onion for garlic – the same rule applies). Unless of course your date’s a dud and you want to guarantee there won’t be a second date.
